Up to eight Palestinian terrorists and civilians were killed following an attack on the Nahal Oz fuel depot.
Two of the terrorists were killed by Israeli soldiers Wednesday at the depot on the border with Gaza after they infiltrated to Israel and shot two Israeli civilians dead and injured two others.
Two more terrorists involved in the attack were killed Wednesday night when an Israeli military aircraft bombed the car they were driving in, in Gaza’s Sajaiya neighborhood.
Palestinians reported that up to four civilians, including children, were hit in the retaliatory attack.
